FEILDING STOCK SALE.

GOOD YARDING OF BEEF. FEWER BREEDING EWES. For the Feilding stock sale to-day a smaller yarding of store sheep came to hand, the entry being mainly comprised of wether and ewe hoggets, with only an odd pen of in-lamb ewes. The fat sheep offering was also lighter than last week’s and ewe mutton predominated in numbers. A good yarding of fat cattle came to hand, station beef being best represented, although there was a fair offering of ex-dairv cows. There was • an average yarding of boner cows, but a small offering of dairy cattle, of mixed to good quality: Several lines of yearling Jersey heif-r ers were penned. The run cattle were mostly females, but there were also in the station cattle pens several lines of young steers.
